Spring Into Action: Why Spring is the Best Time for Truck Maintenance

As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, spring is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues — and your truck is no exception. After enduring cold temperatures, icy roads, potholes, and road salt, your truck deserves a little TLC. At Diesel Works, we believe spring maintenance isn’t just about freshening things up — it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring your truck is road-ready for the sunny days ahead.

5 Essential Spring Truck Maintenance Tips

Here’s a checklist of springtime services we recommend to keep your truck in peak condition:

1. Tire Check & Rotation
   Winter roads can be brutal on your tires. As temperatures rise, the air pressure in your tires changes — potentially causing uneven wear. A tire rotation and pressure check will improve your fuel efficiency and help your tires last longer.
2. Oil Change & Fluid Top-Off
   Cold weather thickens oil and can cause moisture buildup in your engine. If it’s been a few months since your last oil change, now’s the time. While you’re at it, have all your fluids — including brake, transmission, and coolant — inspected and topped off.
3. Battery Test
   Frigid temps strain your battery, and spring is notorious for sudden breakdowns. A quick battery test ensures you don’t get stranded on your first weekend road trip of the season.
4. Brake Inspection
   If your brakes squeal, vibrate, or feel soft, don’t wait. Spring is a great time to inspect your brake pads and rotors — especially if you drove frequently in wet or snowy conditions.
5. Wash, Wax & Undercarriage Clean
   Road salt and grime can cause corrosion, especially underneath your truck. A full exterior detail — including a wax and undercarriage wash — will protect your paint and frame for the months ahead.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget Your Wipers & A/C

Spring showers call for clean, streak-free wipers. Don’t forget to test your A/C — you’ll want it running cold before the summer heat hits. If anything’s off, we can handle that too.
